Patent CA-2469483-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FERBER IRIS A
IPC: C12N5/06
Filed: 2002-12-06
Abstract: This invention provides a system for producing cells of the hematopoietic lineage from embryonic stem cells. Differentiation is conducted in the presence of hematogenic cytokines and other factors listed in the disclosure.  The cell population that is obtained is remarkably enriched in CD45 +ve cells, a marker of early hematopoietic precursor with self-renewing capacity.  Including a bone morphogenic protein during the differentiation process enhances the ability of the cell population to form secondary colonies.  Because of the enormous replicative capacity of embryonic stem cells, this provides an important new commercial source of hematopoietic cells.

Title: Secure authenticated channel
Inventor: SIRVENT THOMAS
IPC: H04L9/30
Filed: 2004-10-29
Abstract: A protocol (i.e. method) and corresponding apparatuses for calculating a session key. Two peers with knowledge of a common Diffie-Hellman permanent key, K perm, and the identity and public key of the other peer. A first peer chooses a first ephemeral private key x and calculates the first corresponding ephemeral public key g x, which is sent to the second peer. The second peer calculates a second ephemeral public key g y in the same manner, and an ephemeral shared key K eph, hashes g y, K eph, K perm, and its identity, and sends g y and the hash to the first peer. The first peer calculates K eph, verifies the hash, and hashes g x, K eph, K perm, and its identity, and sends it to the second peer that verifies this hash. Thereafter, both peers obtain a session key by hashing K eph. The apparatuses may then use the session key to establish a secure authenticated channel (SAC).

Title: Firefighter garment with combination facecloth and moisture barrier
Inventor: ALDRIDGE DONALD
IPC: A62B17/00
Filed: 1996-02-08
Abstract: A firefighter garment which includes an outer shell, a thermal layer and a combination moisture barrier and facecloth. In the preferred embodiment, the combination moisture barrier and facecloth layer includes a semi-permeable component, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, which is attached to a facecloth material of a high lubricity filament yarn. The semi-permeable component functions as a moisture barrier and the filament yarn component provides a low friction interface between the garment and its wearer, thereby reducing heat stress imposed on the wearer of the garment during firefighting activity. The filament component also functions as a substrate for the moisture barrier. In the preferred embodiment, the thermal liner includes a layer of apertured flame and heat resistant unicellular or closed cell foam which is positioned between the outer shell and the combination moisture barrier and facecloth. The foam also has a substrate of low-friction woven or knit filament material which faces the outer shell to reduce friction between the outer shell and the thermal liner.
